Mitsubishi's
compact Lancer line runs the gamut from basic transportation all the way up to
fast and furious rally ready racers. The Lancer's basic 2.0-liter four-cylinder
produces 120 horsepower and teams with either a five-speed-manual or
four-speed-automatic transmission. All Lancers ride on a four-wheel, fully
independent suspension. A four-door Sportback hatchback version comes with a
160-horsepower, 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, while the Ralliart sedan comes
equipped with a 162-horsepower version of the same powerplant and a sport-tuned
suspension. The O-Z Rally sedan gets 15-inch alloy racing wheels, bumper
extensions and side air dams. Air conditioning, a CD stereo, power locks,
mirrors and windows, a rear defroster, and tilt steering column come standard
across the line, with keyless entry, cruise control, a power sunroof, and
leather seats optional. A new top Evolution IX model is aimed at youthful
"tuner" car enthusiasts and comes powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter in-line
four engine with variable valve timing that brings 286-horsepower and 289 lb-ft
of torque to the pavement via a five-speed close-ratio manual gearbox. A
four-wheel independent race-ready suspension, heavy-duty four-wheel disc Brembo
brakes, and 17-inch wheels and tires come standard. The Evolution IX is further
distinguished by specific styling cues that include a large front air dam and
rear-wing spoiler, with Recaro sport seats inside its carbon-fiber-trimmed
interior.

The TCC Rating is a clear numeric rating value based on a 10-point scale that reflects the overall opinion of our automotive experts on any vehicle and rolls up ratings we give each vehicle across sub-categories you care about like performance, safety, styling and more.

Our rating also has simple color-coded “Stop” (red), “Caution” (orange), or “Go” (green) messages along with the numerical score so you can easily understand where we stand at a glance.

Our automotive experts then also collect and show you what other websites say about these different aspects of any vehicle. We do this leg work for you to simplify your research process.
